Agree with your comments
It mostly seems an extension/explanation of the ridiculous 2023 ESH guidelines (not to be confused with the superb 2024 ESC guidelines www.escardio.org/Guidelines/C...)
A whole section to renal denervation 🤔
And such strong language against BP < 120

The Management of Elevated Blood Pressure in the Acute Care Setting: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association | Hypertension
Over the past 3 decades, a substantial body of high-quality evidence has guided the

Even when we say we will use MRAs earlier, we don’t! We showed this. Screening is associated with WAY more MRA use (probably in part because those who think to screen are more likely to treat based on best evidence)

That was the goal with the encouragement without saying it’s absolutely required. It’s not feasible or appropriate in everyone/should be tailored to the individual.
Overall, it’s to swing the pendulum to aim lower when possible

I would dare to say many people: if too young, if single pill combo is not enough to control BP. PA is more common than we are used to think. Usually, for us nephrologists is even harder to screen when pts are already on 4-5meds #nephjc

Undercover Aldosterone — NephJC
This week, we will discuss the origins of primary hyperaldosteronism in normotensive patients. Could this undetected anomaly be the cause of idiopathic hypertension and CKD?

The guidelines point out literature that home BP seems prognostically similar to ABPM and better for repeatability/longitudinal monitoring. We still use ABPM a lot, but for situations where we need more detailed data (BP lability, new target organ damage, unclear if home BPs are accurate)
